Remember the Electric Light Orchestra
Of course, if you don't appreciate Jeff Lynne's work, why answer the thread... Its nothing against his work, but you yourself even say : I guess that I was bored and needed something to fill the hours... :) So, you kinda left the door wide open for comments. Maybe you have seen this site before (?)and if not maybe you will find some albums you are interested in : http://www.musicstack.com/records-cds/electric+light+orchestra |
Why not just buy some nice clean used copies of the ELO LPs you desire - they're common enough and for the most part sound pretty good too. While they may not be the last word in extension or detail, I find them quite musically involving - an artifact I'm sure whatever over-zealous knob twiddler they find to "remaster" (an oxymoron if there ever was one) the LPs will promptly dispose of in favor of hi-fi wizardry. There ought to be a Hippocratic Oath that audio engineers, and particularly mastering engineers are sworn to: Do No Harm. |
One of the first concerts I went to as a kid(13 yrs old) was ELO's "Out Of The Blue" tour at Anaheim stadium in 1978. The stage was a giant lighting-laden recreation of the spaceship on the album that hydraulically opened to reveal the band complete with a Laserium laser light show. Mind-blowing at the time, but pretty cheesy now in hindsight. Here's a great account of the tour technical details Pic 1 Pic 2 Pic 3 Pic 4 Pic 5 |
